Smoothies are fantastic for high quality nutrition paired with an easy prep. Below you’ll find my personal favorite recipes I use every morning.
You’ll need a quality blender for these recipes, and from personal experience I recommend you buy a quality one up front. “Buy nice, not twice.”
I recommend :
- KitchenAid 5 Speed, $80-100 at Amazon.
- Cleanblend Blender $180 at Amazon.
- Vitamix 5200 $380 at Amazon.
